Useful and Hurtful Medicines.

A PENNSBORO WOMAN.
Deserts Her Family and Runs Away
With Another Man.
A Very Sensational Story About Hith
ertO Respectable Woman.

A letter from Pennsboro, Richie
county, to the Wheeling InteUigen-
Ger furnishes the following sensa-
tional bit of news:
THE people Of Richie and adjoin-
ing counties and along the B. & O..
railroad are in state of feverish ex-
element over the mysterious disap-
pearance of Mrs. M. X. Duty, of
Pennsboro. Her husband is Mayor
of the town, a well known lawyer,
business man and Secretary of the
Richie County Agricultural Asso-
citation. The family has hitherto
stood high in social circles, and they
seemed to have been living happily.
The duties of Mr.. Duty kept him
from home great deal, and it now
transpires that for year or two she
has been making preparations to
leave him. On Saturday, August
20, with large valise, she took the
west bound train from Pennsboro
and stopped off at Silver Run Sta
ton. Here she remained till Mon
day, and to her cousins, Mrs. Muir
ply and b. F. Hill, storekeeper at
that place, she gave trashy ac-
count of her husbands cruelty and
unfaithfulness This was discredit-
ed by many, as Mr.. Duty has been
a kind husband to her. Her actions
manifested that she was not right,
and she stoutly maintained that she
had hidden farewell to her home and
'squawling kids, as she called her
children. Without buying a ticket
she went to Parkersburg and par
TALLY kept her identity concealed by
not registering at the hotels. After
that all trace of her was lost.
Gone report says that Robert
Clair saw her on the fast line going
east. Relatives in jackson county,
Wheeling and Indiana have been ap-
pealed to for tidings, but in vain.
Hon. M. X. Duty has been in Indiana
himself, and is making desperate eff
forts to learn something of her
whereabouts. She had exercised
great care in taking her departure
from West Virginia. Over thou
sand dollars were on her person, five
hundred of which her father gave
her, and the rest was her husbands
money, including nearly two hun
dred dollars which the people of
Pennsboro had made up to buy a
public library.
"There is a strong suspicion that
she is somewhere with certain old
'favorite, and is now enjoying Sec
ond honeymoon. She left good
home and three children, who are
now in the family of one of their
uncles."

VIII We Have n New Cont Houseg

Last week while the county com
missioners were in session James p.
Bailey, an architect of Pittsburg,
here examined the court house
which he did pretty thoroughly.
The result of his observation was
the condemnation of the court house.
He pronounced it unsafe and said
that he could not be induced to 90
into the court room if there was a
crowd in it. He also said the foun-
dation was defective and that but
for the iron rod running through it
the house would .faU doon in less
than two years. The commissioners
directed Mr.. Bailey to draw up a
plan for new building and make
an estimate of what it would cost.
These are the preliminary steps, but
no action further was taken in ref
erence to building a new one.

Those Merry Wedding Bells.

To the Editor of the NEw DOMINION:
T Still the wedding bells keep ring
ing. Last Thursday at the resi-
denee of the brides parents Lowry
Smyth and Miss Maggie Rich were
married by Rev. w. II. Hart. The
wedding was quiet affair attended
by few of the near friends. On
Friday, quite number of Lowry's
friends were invited to his Unfair
dinner, and the occasion will long
be remembered by those present
The bride and groom arrived about
twelve o'clock and were joyously re
ceived by all. The bride in her
faultless dress looked charming
enough to captivate the heart of
any man, and the groom could
not help looking happy. We
would like to say something
about the good things we had to eat
but space forbids, and we could not
do it justice anyhow. 1t certainly
would have tickled the palate of the
most fastidious. The afternoon and
evening was spent in games of all
kinds. One roud of pleasure sue
eeeded another till late at night,
when all departed leaving their
blessings and best wishes for the
life long happiness of Lowry and his
wife. GUEST.

THE II. AND RS RATIFIED.
Wheeling Easily Defeats the Morgan
town Base Ball Club.

The Rough and Ready base ball
club Of this place went to Wheeling
to play the Pan Handle club Of that
city. The result was a bad defeat
for Morgantown. Here is what the
Register says of the game:
The hitherto invincible sluggers
from the Modern Athens" fell easy
victims to the Pan Handles yester-
day in the contest for the amateur
championship Of the State. The
boastful base ballist from Mononga-
hela's classic banks vannteth him
self no more
In the first inning Morgantown
chose the bat and Immediately com
menced to score runs. Ayersman
got first on tumble and came home
on errors. In the third and fourth
they succeeded in getting two more
runs and here they rested.
The Pan Handles began to score
in the third and kept it up with
monotonous regularity until the end
of the game. Morgantown's crack
pitcher { Kiger) was veritable pic
mic for the home club, who lined his
swift balls out with the greatest
ease. The visitors became complete
ly ratified under the influence of GER
tain defeat and played like so many
school boys.
In the second inning kick on
kiger's delivery livened up the game.
The matter was decided in favor of
the Morgantown twirler. However,
in the fourth he retired in favor of
Conif. who was displaced in the
seventh by O'Kelly.
The score in full is given below:

Last Saturday morning seven
teen year old son of James Swihart.
who resides near Rufus Creek, this
county, had cleaned and loaded a
shotgun for the purpose of going
out hunting. Before starting, how
ever, he sat down upon the steps,
placed the gun upon his knees and
began playing with his little sister,
two years old. By a sudden move
ment the gun was showed off his lap
and fell, the hammer striking the
steps, discharging the load which
first struck the knee then passed in

Success to you, boys, and may yours
be noble years work.
Prof. /. G. Lazzell, started back
to Arkansas yesterday to engage in
school work there. We understand
the Professor is gaining quite rep
utation there as a teacher and
scholar. Surely Monongalia and the
w. V. U. should be proud of her
sons for they are doing noble work
and gaining an enviable reputation
for themselves. From Main to Mis-
sissippi and from Massachusetts to
Nebraska their influence is both felt
and appreciated, and we of this COM
munity have as much cause to boast
as any other part of this moral vim
yard, for she can boast of no less
than half dozen boys who but
few short years ago were school boys
here in our quiet little circle, but
who are now an honor to themselves,
an honor to their community and an
honor to their work.
Rev. M. M. Eyerly and wife are

After sumptuous meal, to which
we did ample justice, from the hands
OF that most accommodating landlord,
l.. +. Stentz, we resumed our Jour
ney to Carmichaels via the quaint
little city Of Mapletown and pictur-
esque village of Chicago, at which
place we arrived about p, m. To
us this appears very much like a
beautiful Western town, with its
wide streets. Situated in a large
basin that, from the surrounding
hills, appears like plain with city
In its centre, and gently undulating
ON all sides to hills which gradually
swell even into mountains in places.
But we find Carmichaels much like
Greensboro, except that Greensboro
is more alive and enterprising.
Here we were most Hospitality en-
tertained, leaving with much regret
quite early by a cireuitous route on
our return, and after many interest
ing sights we arrived at lower Greens
ooro, where we visited the pottery.
Here we saw jars, jugs, etc, taken
through the entire process-grinding
the dirt, tempering and kneading
the mud, shaping and finishing-all
of which, to one who never witnessed
it, is very interesting, indeed. Many
persons think jars, crooks, ETC., are
moulded like brick; but not so.-l
They are shaped by the hand and
lathe and placed aside to dry. AsI
soon as dry enough they are burnt
and glazed, all Of which is expl aimed
only by seeing.
About B p. m. we bid this pictur-
esque and industrious little town a
final adieu, arriving at our destina- !
tion about 6 o'clock.
On this trip going and returning
we witnessed many interesting and I
pleasing sights. Passing through /
valleys and over lofty mounds where
we could view the country for many
miles, with here and there glimpse
of the placid waters of the Monon-
gahela moving along calmly and
without murmur to Join
the beautiful Allegheny.
As we passed the many farms we
observed the threshers here and
there separating the golden grain
from the chat and straw, as well as
many fine fields of corn which the
farmers were busily engaged gather
ing into shocks. 1t appears to have
been as dry in all this section as in
West Virginia, yet the corn is much
better.
The farmers with few, if any, ex-
captions feed their land, which pays
them in return with excellent crops.
Much lime and stable manure is be-
ing used this fall. B. S. A.

WHITEHALL. Montana, Aug. 21.-
| have seen the wild waves of the
Pacific beat upon the shores of Cali
fornia since writing you. | have
been gone ten days with cattle for
Bailey q Co. ! am enjoying good
healt.
suppose the Black Bottle is well
nigh finished by this time. When
you write tell me all the railroad
news. What are the prospects for a
railroad on the West Side of the
river?
] am now working for Mr.. +. G..
Brooke. We are haying. He runs
three moving machines, three wag-
ons-4 horses to each wagon-and
five to seven hands. We haul the
hay 81 miles. His ranch extends to
the Jefferson river 81 or miles from
Whitehall. 1t takes this force about
3 months to get through his haying.
He keeps from Is to 20 work horses,
about the same number of saddle
horses and about 200 on the range
and between five and seven hundred
cattle-he don't know himself just
how many.
There are men here who number
their cattle By the thousands. His
horses are branded and numbered.
They do not name the work horses,
but know them by their numbers.
When we are working a horse that
gets little tagged he tells us some
number to get in it's place. This
week have been driving Is, l04, 73
and 5.
Mr.. b. lives in large two story
frame house and keeps the Postoffice
and hotel. But most of the people
here live in cabins. There are men
here living in cabins who are worth
more than any man in Monongalia.
There is mech more intelligence
here than one would expect to find
when he first strikes the Rockies.
The country is settled by people
from all parts of the world.
This is the best place for poor
man that ! know Of If one has
$500 or 81 900 to start on he can get
there in good shape in a few years.
You can take up land and then have
thousands of acres of range for thous-
ands of cattle, if you have them.
The stockmen here at first keep
all their heifers and mares and breed
their own stock. Mr. B. has Is or
20 fine bulls and several stations.
There are plenty of wolves bowling
around here. They come near
the house at night to wake
ne. / saw wolves in the field where
was working yesterday.
Yours truly
VIM. Il. MARTIN.
